Polysaccharides
Polysaccharides are organic compounds formed by the union of multiple monomers, which are joined together by glycosidic bonds to create large and often branched molecules. These complex carbohydrates play crucial roles in various biological functions, including energy storage, structural support, and cell-cell communication. In this section, you will find a diverse range of polysaccharides essential for research in biochemistry, molecular biology, and glycoscience. These compounds are vital for studying metabolic pathways, cell wall structures, and the therapeutic potential of carbohydrates. At CymitQuimica, we provide high-quality polysaccharides to support your scientific research, ensuring precision and reliability in your experimental outcomes.

CAS:A fucan sulphate found in brown marine algae (Phaeophyta-typically Fucus vesiculotus, Ascophyllum nodosum, Alaria and Lessonia nigrescens (illustrated) and has been shown to have anticoagulant activity. The main constituents are α-1,4 and α-1,2 linked L-fucose sulphates although galactose also occurs and there are many variations of the basic structure found in different species of Phaeophyta. The fucose content is approx. 26.2% and it also contains galactose (approx. 13.0%), uronic acid (approx. 13.0%) and sulfate (approx. 29.1%).

CAS:Chitosan from fungal cell walls. It is made by treating cell walls of fungi (agaricus bisporus) with sodium hydroxide.Viscosity typically 20-100 mPa.sColor and Shape:PowderCellulose - Arbocel
CAS:Cellulose is a linear polysaccharide of β 1-4 linked glucose residues. The polysaccharide chains are bundled as microfibrils in cell walls and provide the essential structural components within growing plants. Each microfibril exhibits a high degree of three-dimensional internal bonding resulting in a crystalline structure that is insoluble in water, resistant to reagents and very strong.Color and Shape:PowderHyaluronic acid from Bacteria
CAS:Please enquire for more information about Hyaluronic acid from Bacteria including the price, delivery time and more detailed product information at the technical inquiry form on this pagePurity:(%) Min. 90%b-D-Glucan-from piptoporus betulinus
CAS:This β-glucan contain D-glucose residues with β-1,3 links and b-1-6 side branches. The frequency, location, and length of the sidechains may play a role in immunomodulation. Differences in molecular weight, shape, and structure of β-glucans can also affect the differences in biological activity. The water-soluble β-D-glucan is extracted from fruiting bodies of Piptoporus betulinus by hot aqueous extraction, followed by freeze-thawing and dialysis. Methylation analysis and NMR spectroscopy, indicated the presence of a β-D-glucan with a main chain (1,3)-linked, substituted at O-6 by single glucose residues.
